Transgender Day of Remembrance November 20, 2020 Transgender Day of Remembrance was started in 1999 to honor transgender people lost to violence in the last year. Black transgender women and femmes, as well as transgender women and femmes of color, are the most frequent victims of this violence. "Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people -- sometimes in the most brutal ways possible -- it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice." - Transgender Day of Remembrance founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith To honor those who were lost in 2020, we invite you to join us for a Facebook Live broadcast on Friday November 20, 2020 at 1:00 pm PT/4:00 pm ET.
